Moving On [EPUB ebook] 

A cool, unsettling story of grief and starting over – from the Guardian First Book Award long-listed collection Man V. Nature
After the death of her husband a woman is relocated by the Placement Team to a prisonlike shelter for widows and the unwanted. There she is offered only one option: to prepare for her next husband. “Moving On” is the bold and brilliant opening story from Diane Cook’s critically acclaimed, award-winning debut collection
Man v. Nature.
